Week 9 - Challenge 2 - Switch Bezel Design

AIM :

Tooling axis and Draft analysis is a very important tool used for verifying the manufacturability of a style part .

Tooling Axis :

• Tooling axis plays a crucial role in determing how a part is manufactured and what types of operations are undergone.
• Designer's need to determine the axis for ease of process.
• Tooling axis is used to define the oreintation of the parts mount in the injection moulding.
• Define the Core and Die design with various terminology.
• Tooling Axis should be perpendicular to the faces with clear visiblity of all faces.
• Improper tooling axis may lead to damage of an style part and moulds.

Following are steps involve's

• Always Use Multiple Extract, to mark the centre Point in an complex surface.
• By using Bisecting Method to find the Master tooling axis with Imaginary axis.
• Develop the Engineering and C Surface with the help of Class A surface.

Using bysecting Method to create a tooling axis.

Extract the suface from Class A to Generate the Class B surface and offset the surface to the required thickness

Extract the Boundaries of an CLass A surface to create Class C surface

Join the surface With Class A and C to create a Style part

Trim the existing Join Of an Class A and C surface with the help of Class B surface to create an closed surface of an style part to thicken the material for manufacturability stage.

Draft Analysis is an important Tool used for the verification of the manufacturability of an part.

Following are the steps involve in draft analysis.
